chers rhys, that enough for a full change? and what weight?

cheers  :smiley:

yep it will be unless you got a leak  :grin: :grin:  You normally get about 4 litres out of it - leave it drain for a good hour or so to get the most out

Urm not sure mate  :undecided: - they don't do many oils so just ask for the one for the 1.8T  :smiley:  would think its 5w-30 or something like that

Also tends to be cheaper than any stuff Halfords stock.  I picked up 5 litres for my derv for less than £30 and I find it runs much better than the other oil brands I've tried

Yep im running 5w-30 Quantum good stuff  :smiley:

thats right they are tapered i only paid £2.00 from vag for the whole plus and washer worth changing as the lugs may be turned on the plus.
